Ladies and gentlemen, before I proceed to go on a rant, please allow America’s Clown Prince, the late Mr. Bernard “Red” Skelton,  to explain our Pledge of Allegiance:

Under God.  This week, Liberals, within the Halls of Power of our own government, have decided to deny our soliders access to a Christian service on the National Day of Prayer.

Evangelist Franklin Graham’s invitation to speak at a Pentagon prayer service has been rescinded because his comments about Islam were inappropriate, the Army said Thursday.

Graham, the son of famed evangelist Billy Graham, in 2001 described Islam as evil. More recently, he has said he finds Islam offensive and wants Muslims to know that Jesus Christ died for their sins.

Army spokesman Col. Tom Collins said Graham’s remarks were “not appropriate.”

“We’re an all-inclusive military,” Collins said. “We honor all faiths. … Our message to our service and civilian work force is about the need for diversity and appreciation of all faiths.”

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation had raised the objection to Graham’s appearance, citing his past remarks about Islam.

Collins said earlier this week that the invitation to attend the National Day of Prayer event at the Pentagon wasn’t from the military but from the Colorado-based National Day of Prayer Task Force, which works with the Pentagon chaplain’s office on the prayer event.

As co-honorary chair of the task force, Graham was expected to be the lead speaker at the May 6 Pentagon service. Country singer Ricky Skaggs was expected to perform.

Since Graham’s invitation was rescinded, the task force has decided not to participate in the military prayer service, Collins said.

From last Sunday’s Blog, “The Dangers of Prayer and Eye Black”:

The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.

By trying to stand for everything, Liberals are making sure that the United States of America stands for nothing.  Just like their President, they are bent on overseeing the radical changing of this country from “the shining city on a hill”  to a third-rate Democratic Socialist nation.  The whole message, especially the last couple of weeks, has been:

Timothy McVeigh claimed to be a Christian.  The Tea Partiers are mostly Christian Americans.  Therefore, they are violent and pose a bigger threat than Islamic Terrorists.  

Just like Goebbels and the National Socialist (Nazi) Party  in Germany demonized the Jews, these Alisky-ites in power are trying to demonize Conservatives, whether you proclaim Christ, or not.  

Unfortunately for the Libs, 75 % of Americans identify themselves as Christians.  This is unlike Europe, where their lifestyle and ambivilence has allowed Sharia Law to gain a major foothold on their continent. 

Isn’t it amazing how those that claim to be the most tolerant among us are actually the least?  Franklin Graham’s dad, the Reverend Billy Graham, remains the greatest Evangelist of our lifetime, leading millions to Christ , while serving and couseling Presidents from Harry S. Truman to George W. Bush.  He actually was a registered Democrat, but leaned Republican in his later public life.

According to a 2006 Newsweek interview, “For Graham, politics is a secondary to the Gospel…. When Newsweek asked Graham whether ministers—whether they think of themselves as evangelists, pastors or a bit of both—should spend time engaged with politics, he replied: ‘You know, I think in a way that has to be up to the individual as he feels led of the Lord. A lot of things that I commented on years ago would not have been of the Lord, I’m sure, but I think you have some—like communism, or segregation, on which I think you have a responsibility to speak out.’

For The Federal Government to do this to the son of this great man, a fine Christian leader in his own right, because he dared to speak out against evil, stands against the history of our country.  For those of you who claim to be Conservative and are saying :

Meh.  Why should I care?   We need to expand our tent and make it more encompassing, so that we can win elections.

 Allow me to end this rant by quoting a highly-educated (holder of  a Doctorial degree) man I respect greatly.  He recently said:

The only thing in the middle of the road is a yellow line and dead possums.
